Abstract
A drive and suspension system for a longitudinally extending vehicle includes a differential having a pair of laterally extending output shafts. The output shafts support a pair of longitudinally extending gear train supports which journal and enclose a pair of longitudinally extending gear trains driven off the output shaft to drive the vehicle's drive wheels. The gear train supports, which are pivotal relative to the output shafts, are connected proximate the drive wheels to a pair of spring suspensions which in turn are connected to the ends of a laterally extending walking beam which is pivotable on a longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
